This is a small (21mm) silver medal issued to commemorate the very first act of the French Revolution in 1789. That being the vote to curtail the privileges of the elite ruling classes ("Abandon De Tous Les Privileges"). Obverse is probably a depiction of Marianne in an oak leaf crown, star above. In the right field are the words 'Projet 1984' below is the name of the designer stated as 'd'op BORREL F.' The reverse has a scene of the revolutionaries involved in the vote around a short column with the words "A LA PATRIE" (To The Homeland) ; to the left below appear the reverses' designer 'd'op GATTEAUX.' In exergue "1789 m 1989" with privy mark cornucopia 1 *, below. This reverse design originates with a silver medal of Louis XVI on 1789 by Duvivier & Gatteaux [Hennin 59, Julius 49, TNR 12.2]. A translation & intrepretation of the reverse legend & scene: 'ABANDONMENT OF ALL PRIVILEGES' In the hall of the National Assembly at Versailles, the deputies taking the oath around an altar inscribed, A LA PATRIE, 'To The Homeland'.
